Seemed a reasonable thing to post here.
A relevant thing.
The human body is truly remarkable....
Living in a HotSpot I 'll find my masks for when I go shopping later today.
It is required.
Personally that is fine with me...
they have an equalizing effect
I am definitely NOT ugly.. BUT I am a bit wrinkled.. so I actually like face coverings.
So would really ugly people, I'd imagine.
Without a mask on I get looks and such 'cos I'm so gorgeous , still.!
Just turned 64 and I have lived a life......
happy to share ...
lots of things you say Shell are correct, and very interesting.
IMHO
It's when you get into the politics of it all that you lose me.
so got to go to bed soon.
Again, thanks for sharing. Since all life is unique, all life is remarkable, relevant, and beautiful. Especially, when considering the chances of our existing in this universe at all. Human evolution is the end result of an evolutionary miracle. We are among the less than 1% of all species that have survived nature's evolutionary trial and error process. Everyone one here today, comes from survivors.
Our immune system(like all other systems) is not perfect, or 100% effective. It is based on being exposed to antigens(and surviving), and acquiring the genetic information from past generations. In fact, as we age this system will become less and less effective. Why do you think we only pass on our genes, when were are young? Even genes will degrade with age.
Please understand, if people want to immunize themselves, wear masks, or self-isolate themselves, I have no problems with that. This is their choice. I also understand that the government has a responsibility to protect the public. I also agree, that the government should provide the funding for hospitals, educating the public, treatment and testing programs, and other related assistances during this pandemic. The question is, at what cost? How far do you go? Is there an end game?
How do we justify taking away our civil liberties and choice? How is ending of jobs, small businesses, relationships, industries, civil liberties, or the entire economy justified? Is the entire Australian population at risk
of dying from this illness? A rational case for this action has simply not been presented yet! Instead, only a sensationalized, overhyped, fear-mongering, and carefully-worded spin-version of hypotheticals and heresays have.
After over a year, less than 4,000 Australians still have Covid-19(124/5.2M in Queensland). And, over 97% of those are expected to fully recover. Hardy the boogeyman of all diseases. We have allowed the government to created the illusion of a medical disaster, by fear-mongering, and disseminating only half-truths, insinuations and omissions. None of this supported by the facts. We may never recover from the damage this government has already done. Many businesses and jobs are gone forever. The tourist, airline, hospitality, travel, and other related trade industries, may never fully recover from the shutdowns and restrictions. Not to mention the irreversible effects on personal relationships and families. I couldn't even go back to bury my mother!
Despite all the hype and fear mongering, the facts have consistently shown,
that less than one tenth of 1% of the population has ever been infected throughout the past 14 months.
that many times more people were infected after the lockdown started than before it started.
that as more and more people become infected, less and less people will be able to become infected.
that virtually everyone under 40yo, with no other chronic complications, will have nothing to worry about from this disease.
that it is NOT the virus that kills us, it is our immune response to the virus that can kill.
that masks offer only some protection, considering the percentage of health professionals who have became infected.
I do not like covering my face. Because this is not a natural state for any biological organism to do so. I also believe more in self-love, than I do in Beauty's sister, "vanity". But that's just me.
